Shoulder muscle, artwork C013 / 4508

Shoulder muscle. Computer artwork of an oblique posterior view from below of one of the muscles (red) of the shoulders and its attachment to the bones of the back and upper arms. This is the infraspinatus muscle, which runs from the infraspinous fossa of the scapula (shoulder blade) to the greater tubercle next to the head of the humerus (upper arm bone). The function of this muscle is to enable rotation of the arm and to stabilise the shoulder joint. The right-hand side of this view includes joint ligaments (white). Also shown here are the bones of the ribcage and spine, and the clavicles (collar bones) across the top of the torso

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the shoulder muscle, specifically focusing on the infraspinatus muscle. In this computer artwork, we are presented with an oblique posterior view from below, revealing the connection between this crimson-colored muscle and the bones of the back and upper arms. The primary function of the infraspinatus muscle is to facilitate arm rotation while providing stability to the shoulder joint. As we explore this image further, our attention is drawn to the white joint ligaments depicted on the right-hand side. These ligaments play a crucial role in supporting and connecting various components of our musculoskeletal system. Beyond just highlighting this remarkable muscular structure, additional elements come into view within this illustration. The artist has thoughtfully included other key anatomical features such as bones from both ribcage and spine, clavicles (collar bones), and even portions of connective tissue. By capturing these essential aspects of human anatomy in such detail, this artwork serves as a valuable resource for those studying biology or interested in understanding how our bodies function. It offers a glimpse into not only our skeletal framework but also highlights how different muscles work together harmoniously to enable movement. This visually striking print by Springer Medizin/Science Photo Library provides viewers with an opportunity to appreciate both beauty and complexity found within our own bodies without any commercial intent behind it.
